Ingredients from the label


Directions from Packaging

HOW TO USE: 1. Remove solid particles or excess liquid. Shake well, turn nozzle to spray position and saturate soiled and surrounding area. 2. Let sit 5-10 minutes to penetrate stain. Blot with dry, color-safe cloth to remove stain and absorb as much as possible. 3. Rinse and repeat as needed.* Stay off and keep kids & pets off cleaned area until dry and vacuumed. *For really tough stains, cover with a clean, damp cloth so area remains moist for up to 24 hours to maximize enzyme producing action to destroy stain and odor causing particles. BEFORE CLEANING: Remove solid residue and blot excess with a clean, colorfast, absorbent cloth. Test for colorfastness on a hidden area. If color is affected, do not use this product. Before using this product on upholstery, look for manufacturer’s cleanability code tag. Use on upholstery coded “WS” or “W”. Do not use on upholstery coded “X” or “S”. Do not use on velvet, silk, vinyl or leather upholstery. FOR BEST RESULTS: Treat stains immediately. Stains allowed to dry and set can cause bleaching and may be difficult to remove. To more effectively clean stains such as pet urine, a larger area around the stain should be treated and cleaned.

Understanding scores

EWG provides information on cleaning product ingredients from the published scientific literature, to supplement incomplete data available from companies and the government. The ratings indicate the relative level of concern posed by exposure to the ingredients in this product - not the product itself - compared to other product formulations. The ratings reflect potential health hazards but do not account for the level of exposure or individual susceptibility, factors which determine actual health risks, if any.

HOW WE DETERMINE SCORES

Hazard score

The Healthy Cleaning ingredient hazard score, from A to F, reflects known and suspected hazards linked to the ingredients. The EWG VERIFIED® mark means a product meets EWG’s strictest criteria for transparency and health.
